So I've purchased the Radio Shack 10' 16 guage steel antenna masts. Im going 30 feet, and it will be attached to the side of my chimney. I was lurking around on the forums earlier in the week and recall seeing a picture someone had posted of a bracket to allow me to put another mast 90 degrees off my main mast, but i cannot find the picture.

I want to be able to add a CB antenna on one side, and eventually another antenna on the other side. Does anyone know of some type of bracket that will attach to my main mast allowing me to have a 90 degree pole off of it? I hope that all makes sense.

Please help.

Sounds like what you want is a crossover plate. Store bought they start at $30 or $40 and go up. If you can scrounge a 4" square, 3/16" steel plate and some U bolts from Ace, you're in for cheap! Three of them, one on each end of the horizontal, plus one in the middle for the main mast. Add some short vertical mast sections on the ends for mounting other antennas

Oh and 1 1/4" EMT conduit from the hardware store makes a sturdy mast, better than the RS stuff. However RS mast is swagged to stack sections where as EMT is tough to do. Does anybody make couplers for EMT for solid stacking in case you want 20 or 30 feet?
